This is the big one, the bee's knees, the bling king (or queen), the ultimate Flotilla kit.

You'll get fourteen Flotilla modules, three complete kits - our audibly offensive Noisemaker synth, a cute little paper-craft mood light, and an all-singing, all-dancing line-following robot - as well as eight other super-simple Cookbook recipes to get you up and running in two turns of a ship's wheel.

The Mega Treasure Chest includes the following modules:

Colour: ideal for using in line-following robots, detecting fruits, or sorting M&M's!
Dial: perfect for using as a simple game controller for games like Pong
Joystick: use it to steer your robot, or to control the boosters on your rocket
2x Light: remind yourself when you've left the lights on in your house
Matrix: perfect for scrolling text on, or using as a tiny marble maze
Motion: use it as a tilt-sensitive controller for games
2x Motor: ideal for driving your robot, or a tiny fan
Number: perfect as a clock, or a countdown timer
Rainbow: makes the perfect little mood light
Slider: perfect for using as a synth controller
Touch: ideal for reaction time games, or a tiny piano
Weather: set up a mini weather station in your house

Flotilla is a range of smart, friendly, and affordable modules that you connect together to create amazing projects that can sense and react to the world around them.

Powered by Raspberry Pi
Unique plug-and play hardware project kit
Go from absolute beginner to ninja-maker
Made, with love, in the UK

Smart widgets and even smarter software have been blended to make Flotilla friendly for everyone, from complete beginners to savvy makers.

Flotilla helps you make reactive and interactive projects - a robot, virtual pet, weather station - anything you can think of!

Flotilla is designed to progress with you as your skills develop. You don't need any coding skills or electronics knowledge to get started, you can simply plug and play.

For beginners, Flotilla has Cookbook and Rockpool, two web-based apps which you can access from your computer or tablet. They let you experiment, learn, and build without writing a single line of code.

For anyone who's done a little programming before, we also have a complete Python API that lets you talk to all of the Flotilla modules.

Check out our Flotilla getting started guides at http://learn.flotil.la/getting-started/ for guides on installing the Flotilla software and getting started with Rockpool.
